NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Essex/11005 Surname: BURKHART, BURKHARDT, BURCKHARDT, WILSON, STARBUCK, CORSCADDEN ------------------------- Wow! Rosina Elizabeth BURCKHARDT, wife of Thomas WILSON, was my great-grandaunt! They are buried at Federal Flats Cemetery in Minerva, as you may know. Her father (my great great grandfather), John George BURCKHARDT, died in Minerva in 1855. Her mother, Rosina Elizabeth Muller, died there in 1842. Her brothers were known as John George, Frederick Albert and Adolphus Gustavus BURKHART. I just came back from a pilgrimage of sorts to Minerva--took photos and gathered lots of info. The STARBUCK and CORSCADDEN connections to WILSON line were among the very things I attempted to research there, and I'd always hoped to find a living descendant of Rosina, as both Frederick and Adolphus died in the Civil War and never married. Eager to share info with you! Thanks!
